What is proper dose of Methimazole to 11-lb cat?
Cat tested at 7 normal is 4 for thyroid. (Sorry, I don't know what this test was, just referred to as 'thyroid level' by my vet.) All other blood work fine (kidnew, liver, blood sugar etc.) She is spayed 13 year old indoor cat. Was always ravenously hungry(also regular throwing up about 10 hrs after eating) prior to hyperthyroid diagnosis. Started Thurs afternoon on 5 mg methimazole twice a day. My vet is not in Fridays or Sat or Sundays except for expensive emergency care. By Friday morning cat has for the most part stopped eating and mopes like she doesn't feel well (hiding a lot), but is actually no longer throwing up as was her usual. Looks at food dish, won't touch anything all day. Does drink water, does use litterpan. Has eaten about 1/4 her normal amount during the overnight hours. Dosed at 7am and 7pm. I am wondering if perhaps vet made error and set does too high for size of cat? Does this dosage seem appropriate yes or no?
